ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
44'
Toronto, Ont., Jan. 80.
After routine, a very large number
of petitions were pieseuted from vas-
ioue sections of the country, praying
for the iuoorporation of tho Orange
Association. see
Amongst a number of Bilis introduc-
ed were :--
Sinclair — A Bill respecting the
Londou Junction ittilway Co,
Wigle—Aot respeoting the Leam-
ington Railway Go.
Morrie—Windeor (Essex) Railway
Co.
ielassie—Act Respecting the Water-
works of the Town of Guelph ; also.
Act to Iucorporate the City of Guelph,
Mc NIahon—Billeespecting Land Sur-
veyors.
Mr. Merrick called attention to the
fact that there had beau an unjust die-
tributiou of the reports of the Inpeotor
of Asylums and Prisons. He found
that gentlemen on the Government
side hall received copies ef the report
bound in cloth, which wore presented
to each inember with the compliments
of the luspector of Prisons. He thought
that it was very questionable taste for
IV 11 officer of the Governineut to act as
he did.
Mr. Wood said that the responsible
part of the transaction was his.
Mr. Miller said that he cordially con-
curred with the remarks of the member
for Leeds.
Mr. Scott called attention to the
question of the duration of Parliement.
The hon. member proceeded to refer
to the great powers of the Looal Legis-
lature given under the British North
America Act, The Holme could alter
its constitutiou, and it could pass acts
goveruing its position, Heuoe the
Elo tee could very easily remedy any
dangers likely to arise from the posi-
tion of the Province in consequenee of
the possible error. He • pointed out
that the Parliament 111tetketuasetteled by
-proclamation for -February. 2nd; 1875.
Was the Parliament then complete?
He thought not. The hon. gentleman
cited the Acts bearing upon the consti-
tution of the Province and the ceiling
of Parliament, an4 the election in Al-
goula. These Acts were variously in-
terpreted by hon. members. Gentle-
men -opposite said the meaning of the
Act was' that Algoma was a part of the
Parliament, and that it was incomplete
without its representative in the House,
but that meant that according to the
statute the whole Province was to be
unrepresented for seven months in the
year. This, he contended, was a wrong
interpretation of the statutes. The
hon.amember read from Maxwell and
Brougham an interpretation to prove
that tbe view of the Ministerial advo-
cates was wrong. If their theory was
correct it would be found difficult to
follow the resignation of the Ministry
with a speedy election, or if the Lien -
tenant -Governor dismissed his advisers
it would be impossible to obtain an
opinion of the feeling of the country.
If the interpretation of the Acts relat-
ing to Algoma, as put upon them by
the Government side, was correct, then
the Governor and Provinoe alike were
helpless during the time that Algoma
by statute was excepted from the gen-
eral working of other election laws.
Clorreotly interpreted,there was nothing
in the several sots which were cenfliot•
ing ; but these acts must be interpreted
to a mauner different to that followed
by the gentlemen opposite. Again, ac-
cording to the interpretation of mem-
bers on the Government side of House,
the proclamation in connection with the
House was . somewhat singular, for it
called a Parliament whioh dill not exist.
There was also a :stranger feet in con-
nection with the case, which wee that
this 'write for Algoma. was not issued
for six months after the issue of the
writs for the other constituencies.
Hon. Mr. Mowat defended the poei.
tion of the Government, and ((aid that
there had been no consideration of the
subject whatever in a political sense.
Tho House had, been elected without
any regard or consideration of the gen.
eral election for the Dominion. He
defended at considerable length- the
•view that the Parliament only lived of.
terthe return of ,the last writ. He
delided,the idea that the tnere :precise
metion had anything, to do with • the
Glaceions ; they.. were mere fictions.
The 13, N. A. AA) could only be ) inter.
prated as ,meatiig that four }refers were
to:Cipire often the return of the Ittet
writ. ,1n this Flow he was susieined by
Mr: Todd,. with erherci he had cemeattla.
'•••••••••••
Mr. Meredith said that he though
the House was not to sit after eix, and
and he therefore moved the adjourn-
ment of the debate.
The debate was adjourned, and tho
House adjourned at six.
Toronto, Ont., Jan. 81,
Tho Speaker took the chair at 8
After prayers and routine.
Mr. Meredith proceeded to speak on
the adjourned debate on the subject of
the duratiou of the Legislature. He
said that it was somewhat singular
that the Attorney -General should bo
compelled to refer to Mr. Todd so much.
Twice had he done so in consequence
of his "grave doubts," but lie contend-
ed his premises were wrong, and that
his (Mr. Meredith'e) objections to the
encroachment on the prerogative had
never been answered, According to
the theory of the Goverhment, the Pro-
vince would be unrepresented for from
five to seven months in the year. He
referred to various precedeuts of the
British Parliament, and showed that
precedent did not establish the fact
that without one member being abseut
the House was legally non-existant.
He was not able to maintain the view
that theeGaspe election was in favor of
the gentlemen opposite, for that was
purely; an exceptional case. He was
of the ()pinion that the House had act-
ed on that occasion in a way that did
not bear out the views of the Govern-
ment, because it electedea Speaker and
passed various resolutions. The hon.
members quoted from the records of
the British Parliament, and cited the
act, to show that in the time of James
I. it was understood that all writs were
to be returned on the same day, and he
contended that the House was virtually
oonstituted on the 2ucl of Feb. Any
excuse as to a possible error of inter-
pretation was, he thought, abetted.
The hon. member argued that the views
of the hon. member for Peterboro' were
correct, and (laid...the only, possible in-
terpretation of the statutes led to the
conclusion that the House expired on
the 2ed of Febraars.
Mr. Bethune repudiated the idea of a
too mandatory construction of the sta-
tute. He cited Blackstone to establish
the foot that Parliament was not fully
formed until every constituency was
represented. He also referred to Mag-
na Charta,which foreshadowed the the-
ory that Parliament was not complete
without. Lord Coke had also written
to the same effect. The hon. gentle-
men (Mr. Meredith) had contended
that every meinbei represented the
whole Province, and consequently a
fortiori his theory that the Parliament
was not complete without a representa-
tive of Algoma, fell through. The hon,
tneather contended tbat every interpre-
tation of the statutes, and that all pre-
cedeute were in his favor. Mr. Morrie
said hedid not intend to speak at length
on this matter, but there were certain
subjects be would like to remark upon.
The hon. Premier had said be desired
to keep Dominion politics out of the
dieoussion, but if that was so, he should
not have set the example. It was
enacted thal the duration of Parliament
was for four years. 16 had been said
that the retnrne were not oomplete so
long as Algoma was not represented.
The only logical conclusion was that
this House would last six raonthe
longer than!. it should. What was the
intention of the House when. the Dis-
triotof Atgotua was eat apart ? Certain.
ly not to extend the life of this House
for six month° over the legal four
The issuitig of the proclatnatious which
were issued were the necessary cense-
queuces of the write being sent oui.
Tho writs were issued calling the House
together on the second day ofFebruary,
and therefore the eighty-rieven writs
which were issued were held to consti-
tute a full House, although the writ for
Algoma had not been hewed. The
Hon. Premie, made. the remark that
blunders had been committed by the
Government. Was this one of them e

2nd of February, 1875, and the writ

considered they would entail an outlay

On Friday forenoon Messrs. John
Foyster, John Boyd and John Brown
were hoisting a large stone, by means
of a derrick, from the pile to it wagon
at Myles' wharf, Hamilton. The two
men, Boyd aud Brown, were working
at the winch, the deceased, Joleu Foy -
ster, standing on the pile of stonee,
holding the guy rope in hie hands.
This rope, it may be explained, is used
for the purpose of guiding the derrick
to the spot where it is intended to de-
posit the stone or other heavy sub-
stance. Boyd says that when the
stone bad been elevated some feet he
heard decease -Very, "Hold, stop," and
on looking round saw Foyster disap-
pearing between the vessel and the
wharf. Almost immediately after-
wards the stone, weighing between a
ton and a -half and two tons, swayed
against the aide of the vessel, the hooks
coming against the bulwarks and the
concussion causing the stone to be-
come unloosened, when the enormeue
mass decended on Foyster, who wag
lying on the ice below, a distance of ten
or twelve feet, literally crusbing the
life out of him. So great was the
force of the fall that a large portion of
the stone was broken off by the contact
with the ice. Foyster's body, from his
shoulders down, was smashed to a jel-
ly, the lower portion of the trunk b.iug
held together. by the flannel shirt which
he wore. The right leg and foot -ere
also crushed, but the left appears to
have escaped injury. Death was, of
mime, instantaneous. Deceased leaves
a wife and six young children.
